School Finishing Day

Department of Education Media Release

28 November 2012

Mark Watson

Department of Education, Manager (Employee Relations)

The situation for this year is that for schools in isolated areas, teachers and students will finish on Thursday 20 December 2012. This is one day earlier than urban schools for teachers and the same day as urban schools for students. In urban schools, teachers finish Friday 21 December and students finish Thursday 20 December 2012.

This is consistent with the conditions in the Teachers Award and is also consistent with advice provided to all schools over 12 months ago.
